Opis

The launch of clinical governance in the late 1990s was accompanied by a measure of excitement although, at that stage, it was impossible to determine whether this was really to be the start of a quality driven revolution in health care. Since its inception, much has been done to turn the concepts behind clinical governance into practical reality. Have these efforts been successful? Many would argue that the jury is still out. The authors of this book have approached the topic from diverse backgrounds: urological surgery, general practice, and public health medicine. The result is a commentary on the evolution of clinical governance that has the firm anchors of practicality and realism. It looks at clinical governance from the perspective of the practicing clinician and explains what clinical governance has to offer them. Doctors, nurses, therapists, and health managers will all find something of interest and of practical value in its pages.
